The coloree boy named John Teasley

Brown, WAS arIeSCou llSt GatuGu'y ohe
committed to Jail for trial at the next tern
of Court. He says that he cannot write
and that little white boy wrote the order
for him. He was working for Mr.. Wat
son at the time, and says that Mr.. Watson
owed him one dollar and fifty cents, fol
which he had not asked him, and the little
boy told him he would fix it so that he
could get more money than Mr.. Watson
owed him, and fixed up the ten-dollar or.
der. He does not know who the boy was
The forgery was such miserably shabby
| job that it is not probable the negro had
any help about it.

Mrs. Mamie Grubbs, wife of Mr.. G. G.
Grubbs and daughter of the late VIM.
Green, of this County, died on the 9th
inst, from that slow, wasting disease, con-
sumption. She had been for nineteen
years member of the Barker's Creek
Baptist Church. For more than five
months she was confined to her room,
with consciousness of her approaching
end and separation from loved ones, and
yet, without murmur, she bore it all
and only awaited the summons to bid
adieu to earth and friends that she might
90 10 be with her Saviour. She left a
husband, one son and three daughters.
She was buried in the Barker's Creek cem-
etery on the day following her death,
Revs. D. W. Hiott and M MCGEE conduct
| ing the funeral services.
A difficulty occurred on last Saturday
between Mr.. Joshua Ashley, of Martin
T ownship. in this County, and negro
named Isaiah McCorpin, in tenement
house occupied by McCorpin on Ashley's
plantation in which serious injuries were
/. inflicted. We have been unable to obtain
full particulars, but understand that Ash
ley and the negro had some disagreement,
for which Ashley commanded him to leave
the place. and entered the house to enforce
the command. The negro had both an axe
and large knife, while Mr.. Ashley had q
pistol. Just how hostilities began, we did
not hear, but Mr.. w. T. Ashley, who in
terfered, was badly cut on the forehead
! and right arm by McCorpin, and McCorpin
was shot under the right shoulder blade by
Joshua Ashley as he was STOPPING down to
pis3Is his knife which he had dropped.
The negros wound is serious, as is also
Mr.. w. T. Ashley's. The cut on the lat
ter's forehead penetrated the skull bone
just above the eye.
The constable of j. A. Major, ESQ.,,
created some surprise in Anderson on last
Monday by coming into the city with a
warrant for the arrest of Col. e. NJ. Ruck-
er, on the charge Of failing to remove OBJ
structions from Broadmouth Creek. on
his farm in Belton Township, as required
by the drainage law. Complaint was
made to the County Commissioners by
owners of adjacent lands, upon which
they served Col. Rucker with notice to re-.
move the distractions. Upon his failure
TO comply with the notice, Commissioner
Norris made the affidavit and instituted
the prosecution as required by the Act.
Col. Rucker was at his plantation in
Elberton County Georgia, and therefore
the warrant could not be served on. him.
This is the first prosecution under the law
in this County, but as the Commissioners
have begun, of course there will be no
exceptions made, and where complaint is
made to them, it is their duty to act. All
persons had better have their creeks
cleaned out as the Act requires.
Foster FAINT & Co., the enterprising
clothing dealers on Whitner street, have
just entered the second year of their ex-
istence as firm, and are now better pre-
pared to meet the demands of their in
creasing trade, Their stock consists OF
clothing, gents furnishing goods, hats,
trunks and valises, which have been pur-
chased at the very lowest prices, and
which will be sold as low as the same class
| of goods can be purchased anywhere.
We have inspected their stock, and must
say that in point of style and excellence
their goods will compare fayorably with
stocks usually kept in larger cities. Their
ready-made suits are very pretty, and are
bound to please every purchaser. Their
stock of youths and boys suits is large,
and we advise mothers to inspect them.
They have a large assortment of hats at
any price, and their line of neck-wear is
beautiful. These gentlemen guarantee
satisfaction in everything they sell. Read
their new advertisement and pay them q
visit.
The advertisement of Hill & Adams,
which appears elsewhere, will not fail to
catch the eye of every one of our readers
1t will bear careful reading, as il ontains
| information to the public. The senior
member of the firm has just returned
from the markets, and view of the inte-
rior of their store shows that he was not
idle while there. Their stock, which is
by far the largest they have ever bought,
consists of every thing that the trading
public may need, and their prices are so
low that if you will visit their store We
are confident you will not come away
without making purchase. A stairway
now leads from their store.room to the
rooms above, which have been nicely fitted
up, and which gives them ample room to
display their goods for the fair sex. They
have very large stock of millinery goods
| and fine dress goods. These gentlemen
have secured the services of Mrs. Ell. p.
Sloan. an experienced milllner, who will
